HORSETAIL Equisetum arvense (POLIKOMPI) Equisteum Family
Common names: Peterwort, snakegrass

HISTORY OF USE
Horsetail is an ancient plant, with fossils found from prehistoric time. It has an herbal tradition of use in China, Russia, parts of Europe, and with North American Indians. It was widely used in Europe as a topical wound healing herb. It is one of the only living genus of the entire class Equisetopsida, There are no close relatives to this herb; the closest group of plants are ferns.
Horsetail  has a long and varied history of medicinal use. In the first century AD, Galen described it as cooling and drying to the body. Culpeper, in the 17th century, described it as a hardening medicine, meaning it reduced inflammation and excess moisture in the body.
Horsetail makes an effective natural diuretic. In modern medicine, a diuretic is usually supplemented by potassium to replace the potassium lost in urine. Horsetail, however, has its own built-in way of helping the body maintain potassium levels. In a normal diet the ratio of potassium to sodium is about 2:1, but in horsetail it is 150:1, which means any potassium lost by its diuretic action is replaced naturally.
In the last century horsetail was used to treat tuberculosis and is now used for conditions where tissue repair to damaged lungs is required. Horsetail is also used to curb excessive menstrual bleeding through its astringent and toning properties.
Russian research conducted in the early 1960s indicates that horsetail effectively removes toxic lead accumulation from the body, echoing the tradition of use as a blood cleanser.

CULINARY USE

Plant material should not be ingested as it is a rough herb and can be tough on the digestive system. Horsetail infusions, however, can be added to soups, stews, smoothies, and the like.

MEDICINAL USE
Silica must be present for the utilization of calcium, so horsetail is essential in mineral uptake considering the herb has an extremely high amount of silica. Good to use when there is an indication of low silica, as exhibited by split ends, hair loss, weak hair, splitting nails, cracked and rigid nails.
Urinary System: In combination with other herbs, horsetail is used in cystitis (bladder infection), and in interstitial cystitis (inflammation of the layer between bladder lining and muscle). Its effectiveness is thought to come from its alkalinizing effect on urine and from the fact that it makes the bladder wall less permeable to bacteria. Horsetail has long been used to alleviate both kidney and bladder stones, having a solvent effect on uric stones. It also helps to heal and tone the wall of the bladder, especially strengthening the bladder sphincter. This makes horsetail very valuable in conditions where frequent urination is due to a weak bladder sphincter. It is often combined to good effect with hydrangea root (Hydrangea arborescens) for men with benign prostate enlargement. It would seem that an herb that increases the need to urinate would be aggravating, whereas in fact the tissue-healing, strengthening and toning actions of horsetail actually improve the condition.Offers healing for urinary tract infections and for bladder problems, and is generally thought of as a urinary tract herb. Also good for short term use for kidney stones. 
Blood cleanser: Removes toxins from blood. 
External use: Horsetail is known as a vulnerary, meaning it increases wound healing, and has been used as a poultice to staunch bleeding. Good as a hair rinse or hair oil.

Do not eat plant material, only use as tea herb and discard plant material, as they can be hard on the gastrointestinal tract. For use in kidney formulas, use in small doses and not long term over three weeks, as it will lend up irritating kidneys, though short term use is highly effective.

Great Sunscreen for Kids
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I used this Coppertone Pure and Simple Kids Sunscreen Spray on my kids during a recent beach trip, and I was really impressed. The spray application is super convenient, especially when dealing with active children who won’t stay still. I love that it’s made with zinc oxide and is completely tear-free—no complaints even when it got close to their eyes. It’s mineral-based and gentle on my children’s sensitive skin, with no irritation at all. The SPF 50 provided great protection, and I noticed they didn’t get sunburned even after hours of playing outside. It’s water-resistant, so I didn’t have to reapply constantly after swimming. I also appreciate that it’s free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. The 5 oz size is perfect to throw in a beach bag or backpack. It’s definitely become my go-to sunscreen for outdoor playdates and sports. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a reliable, kid-friendly sunscreen.

Perfect for Sensitive Skin & So Convenient!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this sunscreen! The Coppertone Pure and Simple Tear Free Spray SPF 50 has been a lifesaver for my family, especially with little ones who have sensitive skin. It goes on easily, doesn’t irritate their skin or eyes, and provides great sun protection. I love that it’s free of harsh chemicals but still really effective. I also picked up the sunscreen stick from the same line and it’s amazing for quick touch-ups, especially on the face, ears, and nose. It glides on smoothly without any mess, and it’s super handy to throw in the diaper bag or purse. Highly recommend both the spray and the stick — a must-have combo for summer!

Difficult to rub in; sweat and water resistant; difficult to wash off
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I've used this spray sunscreen off and on for the past two years and have now decided to only use it after a long and sweaty work out at the gym when I drive home. It is much easier to apply onto the skin on sweaty/wet/moist skin than on dry skin. It is difficult to apply and rub in on dry skin. One should carefully apply and use a finger to do so to minimize stretching the skin. The positive about this sunscreen is that it is sweat resistant and will not seep or run into your eyes. It is also water resistant; therefore, it is a good sunscreen to use if you are going swimming. However, this makes it difficult to wash off, even in the shower using a face wash or scrub. I would not recommend this sunscreen for daily use. If you are wearing sunscreen for the purposes of avoiding incidental sun exposure, such as driving to and from places, locally, for fewer than 20-30 minutes, or if you are going for brief walks outside, use a different sunscreen that is friendlier on the skin. I WOULD recommend this sunscreen to anyone that plans on spending prolonged periods of time out in the sun, including being exposed to direct sunlight. If you are planning a day out at the beach, or going out swimming, exercising outdoors for over 30 minutes, taking a long road trip, or planning to do any activity where you will be in direct sunlight, this is a good sunscreen to use. It will leave a white cast, however, I have confidence that it will provide the adequate protection against UVA-1, UVA-2 and UVB radiation to protect your skin.

Good sunscreen
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great alternative to chemical sunscreen, spray is a little patchy and leaves a heavy white residue but that is to be expected. Works well and prevents sunburn so it's a win.
